BODYGUARD featured some fascinating and thrilling twists and turns last night, but could David Budd be set for a tragic loss in future episodes after getting closer to the Home Secretary, Julia Montague.

“And he is still deeply in love with his wife, Vicky, who he’s separated from, and he's guilty and regretful over how their relationship has panned out.”

Richard went on to discuss what it was like working with Sophie Rundle who played David’s estranged wife, Vicky Budd in the series.

“The scenes between David and her character Vicky show David at his most vulnerable, but also at his most vicious,” he said.

He continued: “When he’s looking at Sophie, his wife, David’s looking in a mirror at all of the things that have gone wrong in his life and how he wants to fix them.

“But he’s still incapable of doing so, because he’s not engaging with actually what is going on with him. He’s wrestling his demons, and he thinks he can do that alone, whilst trying to function in a world that’s quite dysfunctional,” he finished.

Who knows the lengths David would go to should his family be put in any more danger.

He already disagrees with Julia on a political level, and after the failed attempt made on her life, she’ll only become more aggressive in her actions against terrorism and war in general, which David fundamentally disagrees with.

David’s already got a massive dilemma on his hands: protect the Home Secretary or finish what his fellow war veteran started.

It’s going to be thrilling to see what happens next, and there will be tense and somewhat disturbing scenes ahead no matter what David decides to do.
